[edgy] text-mode installer - Failure trying to run: chroot /target mount -t proc proc /proc

Hi,

have the same problem here. I use xubuntu-6.10-beta-alternate-i386.iso.

The Specifications of my Laptop:

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook C Series (Intel 440BX/ZX/DX)
../dev/hda > 30GB FUJITSU MHR2030AT D - install drive
../dev/hdc > Teac CD-224E CD-ROM - cd source media drive

Intel Celeron (Coppermine) 650 Mhz
192 MB RAM
ATI Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x

same here, with a md5sum'ed xubuntu beta iso and vmware. I'll attach my screenshots.

same here with Xubuntu Beta 1. It should be fixed!

but to me: it HAPPENS with the CD text mode installer (i've not tried with DVD)

everyone reports this with xubuntu...

Yes, something ist wrong with xubuntu. I download ubuntu-6.10-beta-alternate-i386.iso and it works fine.

Workaround:

1. Switch to one of the consoles, e.g., Alt+F2.

2. Create the mount point by hand: mkdir /target/proc

3. Restart the installation of the base system.

Well, you will get past the problem with proc this way, however more trouble awaits. "Warning: Failure trying to run: chroot dpkg ...". I will file this as an extra bug now.

sounds like that the installer is EXTREMELY broken. That's a sad news.
21st october is near...

can you confirm this is fixed in the latest builds?

The problem does not exist in the text mode installer of ubuntu-6.10-rc-alternate-i386.iso. I did not test a DVD, since I found no DVD image of RC1 on the servers. Hopefully, the installer is similar on the DVD image to come. I can also confirm that #65281 does not exist in RC1.

Tests were done on the very same hardware as before: a Dell D420.

can you confirm with the latest xubuntu builds as well?

Is this the right DVD to test?

I will unfortunately not have access to this notbook before monday. I will then test the latest xubuntu as well as the DVD images xtknight mentioned (which I could not find).

I think that is the latest DVD, but since this bug was assigned to xubuntu-meta I thought it was specific to the installer on the xubuntu alternate CDs.

I'm pleased to announce that I no longer have the problem on the latest
Ubuntu 6.10 Daily Build Desktop DVD. Previously with the first beta DVD I
was having the problems, and I no longer am, so the bug was fixed (at least
for me). Good work.

I don't know whether it is specific to debian-installer (alternative CD), but it is specific to xubuntu. ubuntu's debian-installer didn't have this problem.

It definitely used to happen on the Ubuntu Desktop DVD text-mode install
too.

If I wasn't clear, I meant it used to happen on Ubuntu (GNOME) and it is or
was happening on Xubuntu (XFCE). I have no idea about Kubuntu. I'm not
sure if the Xubuntu one is fixed. Originally I had the bug unassigned, then
it got assigned to debian-installer and xubuntu-meta by others but I don't
know what to assign it to for the regular GNOME Ubuntu.

I have tried the latest xubuntu-alternate-i386 daily build (20061017.1) and this problem doesn't occur anymore on the same hardware as I tried the beta alternate CD (which failed).

thanks, closing then

I confirm that this is also fixed on the PPC alternate CD.
